Abstract
The pervasiveness of the entrepreneurial phenomenon draws scholars' attention to what determines the decision to become an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial decisions imply judgemental decisions. Different approaches in economics conceive such judgemental decisions as firm entry, or real investment in the creation of a new business, or making a career choice in favour of a particular type of self-employment. In this paper, the literature on entrepreneurs' features, motives, and markets is enriched with theoretical and empirical results from industrial organization, financial economics, and labour economics. © 2012 Copyright International Journal of the Economics of Business.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
